在旅行的路上

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

美麗的福爾摩沙 海風輕輕地颳

The beautiful Formosa, the sea breeze gently blows

風箏抵抗風沙 不願放手的是牽掛

Kites resisting the wind and sand, unwilling to let go is attachment

繽紛的客家桐花 如雨 落下

Colorful Hakka tung flowers fall like rain

喝杯家鄉的擂茶 我重溫家鄉話

Drinking a cup of hometown Lei tea, I recall the local dialect

...

...

平溪冉冉的天燈 說好了不離分

Hot air balloons rise in Pingxi, promising not to part

廟會的宋江陣 熱鬧了久違的我們

The Songjiang battle at the temple fair, reviving our long-lost joy

鹽水蜂炮不轉彎 一起 勇敢

Saltwater firecrackers burst straight ahead, let's be brave together

八家將在震撼 用傳統的力量

The eight chars shake with traditional power

在旅行的路上 有些事我們慢慢講

On the road of travel, some things we’ll take our time to tell

有個熱情的地方 名字叫台灣

There’s a passionate place called Taiwan

原住民歌聲嘹亮 迴盪在東海岸

Indigenous songs echo loudly along the East Coast

小米酒飄香 豐年祭裡我淺嚐

Millet wine sweet aroma, tasting it at the harvest festival

...

...

太平洋是一整遍 蔚藍色的面

The Pacific stretches endlessly, a deep blue blanket

蘭嶼的風鹹鹹 有飛魚最深的眷戀

Salty winds on Orchid Island, home to flying fish’s deepest affection

我們從雪山遠眺 蘭陽 平原

From snowy peaks to the plains of Lanyang

噶瑪蘭故事蜿蜒 在蔥綠的稻田

Gama Lan stories winding through green rice fields

日出我們登玉山 太麻里望曙光

Watching the sunrise from Yushan, Matsu casting her first light

那愛河碼頭上 說好了一起看夕陽

At Love River wharf, we promised to watch the sunset together

手中的珍珠奶茶 甜蜜 喝下

Sipping sweet bubble tea in my hand

夜市裡的喧嘩 讓我們想起家

Night market chaos reminds us of home

在旅行的路上 有些事我們慢慢講

On the road of travel, some things we’ll take our time to tell

有個熱情的地方 名字叫台灣

There’s a passionate place called Taiwan

歌仔戲粉墨登場 演歷史的過往

Gezaixi actors perform live, reenacting history

布袋戲拉回 一段童年的時光

Puppet shows taking us back to childhood days

在旅行的路上 有些事我們慢慢講

On the road of travel, some things we’ll take our time to tell

有個熱情的地方 名字叫台灣

There’s a passionate place called Taiwan

我們將腳步放慢 聊著天在路上

We slow down our steps, chatting along the way

你行李裝滿 遠赴他鄉的夢想

Your luggage packed with dreams of distant lands

...

...

在旅行的路上 有些事我們慢慢講

On the road of travel, some things we’ll take our time to tell

有個熱情的地方 名字叫台灣

There’s a passionate place called Taiwan

我用思念在醞釀 牢記你的模樣

With longing, I cherish your image

揮揮手再見 祝你旅途平安

Wave goodbye and wish you a safe journey

...

...

（啦啦啦啦啦啦）

(La la la la la la)

（啦啦啦啦啦啦）

(La la la la la la)

（啦啦啦啦啦啦 啦）

(La la la la la la la)
